## Summary

The County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust is conducting a procurement process for the "SCBU Medical Gases Scheme - Installation of Dual Circuit Pipelines" project, aimed at enhancing medical gas safety at Darlington Memorial Hospital in the North East of England. The awarded contract, amounting to £90,834.33, involves the installation of dual circuit pipelines to mitigate risks associated with potential circuit failures. The procurement was executed as a selective process via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period ending on 30 January 2022, and the contract effective from 31 January 2022 to 30 April 2022.

This procurement opportunity is well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the mechanical and electrical engineering services sector. Businesses that specialise in the installation and maintenance of medical infrastructure or those with experience in hospital projects may find significant opportunities for growth by participating in similar tenders. The focus on safety and quality in this procurement process could lead to further contracts within the healthcare sector, providing a platform for SMEs to establish themselves as trusted suppliers to the NHS.

## Notice

The work required includes installation of dual circuit pipelines (to provide mitigation in the event of a circuit failure), and additional fixed medical gas terminals. Completion of these works will reduce the risk of loss or failure of a medical gas circuit, and reduce the risk to patient safety. Opus Building Services have been appointed via an NHS SBS framework to provide M&E works in relation to the SCBU Medical Gases scheme.
